District 1

(North County)

• A deputy was attempting a warrant service Jan. 6 at a home in the 12400 block of Park Lane when a male suspect pulled in. The man was given verbal commands and refused to follow them. He went behind a vehicle and emptied bullets and other items from his pullover.

Asked about the vehicle he was in, he said the truck belonged to his uncle. A call was placed to the registered owner of the truck, and the deputy learned it had just been stole. A lot of property was located in the truck and it was discovered the man had burglarized five vehicles in the area where he had stolen the truck.

He said he was out on bond for a prior unauthorized use of a vehicle and 10 vehicle burglaries. The 20-year-old Willis man was arrested at 4:10 a.m. and charged with auto theft and five motor vehicle burglaries.

• A deputy received information Jan. 6 that a wanted male suspect was at a home in the 12400 block of Hulon Drive. There, the deputy met with the homeowner who said the man was in the living room with a woman. As the deputy approached, he saw the woman’s purse, which had a baggy of marijuana lying in plain view.

The 22-year-old Willis man, who was sleeping on the sofa, was arrested at 4:48 a.m. for a motion to revoke warrant from an original charge of arson out of Montgomery County. The 20-year-old Conroe woman was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana.

District 2

(South County)

• A 43-year-old woman was arrested on Jan. 3 after a traffic stop on Interstate 45. The deputy noticed a strong odor of alcohol coming from the vehicle and the woman had bloodshot, glassy eyes. After conducting field sobriety tests, it was determined she was intoxicated.

Because she had her 12-year-old son in the car with her, she was charged with driving while intoxicated with child. She was taken to jail, and her son was taken home and released to family members.

• A 50-year-old man and 30-year-old man were arrested for reckless driving in the area of Interstate 45 and Briar Rock. Both had been traveling at high rates of speed, making unsafe lane changes and continuously antagonizing each other. Neither driver chose to abandon the encounter that was putting themselves and others in danger to the point they actually collided with each other.

District 3

(East County)

• A deputy sent to the 20000 block of Sabine Drive in reference to a theft call Jan. 11 learned the complainant had been saving several hundred pounds of aluminum cans and saw two men and a woman stealing the cans and taking them to a recycling company. The deputy learned they had made several trips to the property and then to the recycling company. A 20-year-old man, a 27-year-old man and a 17-year-old woman were arrested for theft.

District 4

(West County)

• Two mothers were arrested for child abandonment in separate incidents on Jan. 1 and Jan. 4. In the first, a deputy was sent to Pinehurst Loop around 9:30 p.m. on a welfare check. He was told there was an 11-year-old boy walking around the trailer park looking for his mother. The boy said his mother had left that morning with a man on a motorcycle and he had no idea what time she was coming back.

He also told the deputy he always takes care of himself and never has anyone watch him or checking on him. Child Protective Services was notified, and the boy was released to his grandmother. When contacted, the mother came home and the deputy arrested her.

In the second incident, two officers were in the 35000 block of Texas 249 when they met with a young boy alone at his house. The boy said when he arrived home from school at 3:45 p.m., as he always does, his mother wasn’t home.

The deputies saw who appeared to be leftover marijuana, and the oven door was wide open and turned on. While waiting for CPS to arrive, the mother arrived home about 45 minutes later. She was taken into custody for child abandonment and for the warrant on possession of marijuana.

District 6

(The Woodlands)

• A 23-year-old woman was arrested Dec. 28 for making alcohol available to a minor. Deputies were called to a noise disturbance at 1601 Lake Robbins, where they found the woman and several other people having a party. Five of the people, ages 18 and 19, admitted to drinking and received citations for minor consuming alcohol. The 23-year-old woman was taken to jail.
